I found the city proclaimed in a state of siege and filled with all the rascaldom and ruffiandom of Tripoli and Smyrna, who held the respectable portion of the community in terror, so long as they were quartered there.
"This actor was evidently not acquainted with even the rudiments of knavery. I wanted to get up and instruct him in them.

And although not a few marveled at finding the major such a queer person, and quite unlike what he had been represented, all joined in drinking his health and flattering his vanity. Indeed, it seemed as if rascaldom had broken from its dominions to revel in the palace of St. Nicholas.
It was a thriving place, too, humming with burghers and trades and guilds, when our great Duke Casimir would let them alone; perilous, often also, with pikes and discontents when he swooped from the tall over-frowning Castle of the Wolfsberg upon their booths and guilderies "to scotch the pride of rascaldom," as he told them when they complained.
